[Intro]
The American is under attack.an illusion of choice.
Look behind the curtain
Wake up.WAKE UP!Let's go!
[Verse 1]
Red tie, blue tie, caught in the machine
Constitution shredded, we’re pawns on a screen
They told us we were fractured, told us we should fight
Box the enemy swing in the night
just smoke and mirrors, they pulling on the strings
Dancing for the wizard pluckin feathers while they binge.
So we are free? You cuttin down the liberty tree!
Swallowing the shit with a silver-plated spoon
Fight over climate, fight over cures
Politics a pulpit, worshipping a post
Orchestrating ruin turning you into a ghost!
[Chorus]
Welcome to the grand illusion, golden-paved decay!
Smiling for the cameras while they giving it away!
Bowing at the altar of the Left and the Right
While they steal our tomorrow in the middle of the night! Yeah, we one nation, staring down the gun
Looking for the enemy, when we are all just one!
[Verse 2
generations deep, sweating out the rust
Granddad no schooling, but he had a trust
Sent the kids to college, thought they had it made
Til nineteen thirty-three when the colors start to fade!
Pulled the gold from the ground, left us in the cold
Now the dollars bleeding out, exactly as foretold
Grinding to the bone, working twice as heavy now. Tax that ass until we pass
And they holding all the files, protecting the pedophiles
Don't buy the propaganda, have you livin like a trash panda.
A weapon made of poison just to keep us on our knees!
[heavy guitar solo with turn table scratch]
[Chorus
Welcome to the grand illusion, golden-paved decay!
Voting for our chains while they taking it away!
Bowing at the altar of the Left and the Right
While they steal our tomorrow in the middle of the night!
Yeah, we one nation, staring down the gun
Looking for the enemy, when we are all just one!
[Bridge]
Conservative, Liberal, tear away the tags!
Bleeding out together wrapped in tattered flags.
Hell is looking ugly, but the highway there is gold
Buying up our freedom with the lies we’ve all been sold.
Patriots fallin' down,turnin into ass clowns of hate
Tell us it's our destiny, tell us it's our fate!
[Verse 3
Used to know the neighbors, kids would play outside
Tore the moral compass out, nowhere left to hide
Mommas on the ground coiled, fadin in the Fetty Foil
Say its crossin borders, Fillin our mind like hoarders.
Look into the system, man, the outcome is miserable
Keep us in a cage while they acting like it's mystical
Left wing, right wing, attached to the same bird
Flying towards the cliff while they censoring the word!
[Chorus
Welcome to the grand illusion, golden-paved decay!
Smiling for the cameras, giving freedom away!
Bowing at the altar of the Left and the Right
While they steal our tomorrow in the middle of the night!
Yeah, we one nation, staring down the gun
Looking for the enemy, when we are all just one!
[Outro]
The American is under attack.
Wizard behind the curtain, stabbing you in the back.
Just an illusion.
Wake up.
